Summary
The documentation provides parity between Linux and Windows in the main extension lists and example payloads, but there are signs of Windows bias. Several extensions are Windows-only (e.g., Antimalware, Diagnostics, DSC, multiple HPC GPU drivers), and Windows tools/extensions are listed before Linux equivalents in several places. There is no mention of Linux troubleshooting tools or log locations, while Windows-centric patterns (like certificateStoreLocation: LocalMachine) are highlighted. No Linux shell or command-line examples are provided for troubleshooting, and the Application Health extension section does not discuss Linux-specific health monitoring approaches.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows extensions are listed in alternating or grouped order to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, including log file locations and common shell commands for investigating extension issues.
- Provide parity in extension support where possible, or clearly indicate when an extension is Windows-only and suggest Linux alternatives.
- Include Linux shell (bash) examples for interacting with extensions, not just REST API payloads.
- Discuss Linux-specific health monitoring approaches in the Application Health extension section.
- Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., certificateStoreLocation: LocalMachine), provide Linux equivalents or explanations.
